And done the other side. Also stripped off some more glue and tar seam sealer off the seat panel with turps and the brass wirewheel.

Buuuuuut, when I drilled the hole from the inside using the boss in the seatbelt bracket to align the drill..... I discovered that the boss is not flush with the panel like the other side.

There's a 7mm gap :( Le sigh.

Well, I'm not cutting all those welds off, I don't think the panel will survive the operation.

I think I'll try slide a washer of the appropriate thickness into the gap and drill a couple small holes in the panel so I can spot the washer to it. The bolt just needs to be a little longer.
